The biggest deal (gaming wise) for me going forward is the upcoming Gears of War 3, which sounds almost too promising to be real. Just 8 more days until I can know for myself! I think I am most looking forward to the expanded and refined Horde mode, which was what became a damn near obsession in my house for quite a long while. We still break it out every now and again, just to scratch that itch of shredding a hapless Locust grub or twelve with the ever fun Lancer. Or Boom Shot. Or the Hammer of Dawn. You know that shotgun was always fun too...
Speaking of the armory, I am curious to see how the new weapons affect things. The new shotgun and its damn near one shot kill was a bitch in the beta. The retro Lancer seemed a little tough to make use of, but I'm sure that will be an afterthought once we can get more play time with these new weapons.
I hope Epic keeps up the flow of map packs with Gears 3, though I suppose they didn't really do a bad job with Gears 2. Still! Its always fun to have a lot of variety to pick from and games like this seem to benefit from having that sort of choices. Which makes me wonder about this season pass of theirs? Buy it and gain access to the first four DLC? What about the others (if there are any)? Hmm... that one is going to wait a bit I think, at least for us anyway.
Anyhow...
8 days remaining!
